Hallo,
Usually I can see the Wikipedia about the interpret or album etc. But here it does not work. On the other hand the lyrics appear. What can I do to solve the problem?

Seems like a known issue, here is the bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349313
Should be fixed in the 2.9 beta version.
https://amarok.kde.org/

Hi AJSlye,
great, at the Amarok webpage I only can find the source code of version 2.9 beta. There is no debian package of version 2.9 beta. How can I install Amarok 2.9 beta using this source code?
Kind regards,
Sigurd

Hi, 
I think this is to far into the OS for me. But I tried it. And finally I got the message:

sigurd@sigurd-desktop:~/amarok/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=ON .. && make && make install

I installed Taglib standard via Synaptic Package Manager. But it still does not work.
I guess I have to wait for a new Amarok in easy to install debian packages.
Kind regards,
Sigurd

When building from source you need the development packages installed, not just library packages (example: libtag1-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, etc).

Hi AJSlye,

I understand. But for now it is to far into the development world. I don't know what will be when I change this or that. And in case I don't know how to make it undone. So I will keep my fingers out of it.
Thank you for your help.

Kind regards, 
Sigurd
